I desire the love of man’s heart in abundant measure.
Not because God would be adored for Himself and for His own gratification, but because I know that only as the love of man flows out to Me does man attain to his purest and best.
That rush of love, which follows the understanding and realization of My Love for man, sweetens and purifies his whole being.
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
The love you give to your neighbor is the overflow of your love to me.
To me, your intimate Friend, all Power is given. It is given Me of My Father, and have not My intimate friends a right to ask it?
You cannot have a need I cannot supply. A flower or one thousand pounds, one is no more difficult than the other.
Your need is a spiritual need to carry on My work. All spiritual supply is fashioned from Love. The flower and the thousand pounds – both fashioned from Love to those who need it. Do you not see this?
I thought of you, a bud opened, you converted that into a cheer for one you love or a smile. That cheer meant increased health. Increased health means work for Me, and that means souls for Me.
And so it goes on, a constant supply, but only if the need is a spiritual one.
“Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth
not what his lord doeth; but I have called you friends.” – John 15:15
Be content to do the simple things.
Never think that if you have not the cleverness of the world I cannot use your services.
Pure sparkling wine may be in a silver goblet or in a simple glass, but, to the one who receives, it is the wine that matters, not the vessel, provided that be pure and clean.
It is My truth that matters, not the person that utters it, provided the desire is there to deliver My Message for ME.
True simplicity is found only as you live in Me and act in My Strength; for only in our close companionship can real value be achieved.
Never accept the values of earth. Be content with simplicity.
Remember My Words to My disciples, “This kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.” Can you tread the way I trod? Can you drink of My cup? “All is well.” Say always, “All is well.”
Long though the way may seem, there is not one inch too much. I, your Lord, am not only with you on the journey – I planned, and am planning, the journey.
There are Joys unspeakable in the way you go. Courage – courage – courage.
“Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet
believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory.” – 1 Peter 1:8
I do not promise My followers the world’s ease and pleasures. I promise those Joys that the world can neither give nor take away.
I promise the heart-rest found in Me alone.
It does not mean that all the beauties and pleasures of the world can be renounced, but that they must be enjoyed only after the treasures and Joys of My Kingdom have been learned, appreciated, and given first place.
Your foolish little activities are valueless in themselves. Seemingly trivial or of seemingly great moment, all deeds are alike if directed by Me. Just cease to function except through Me.
I am your Lord, just obey Me as you would expect a faithful willing secretary to carry out your directions. Just have no choice but Mine, no will but Mine.
I am dependent on no one agency when I am your supply. Through many channels My help and material flow can come.
“I delight to do thy will, O my God.”
– Psalm 40:8
By the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
Obedience is the keystone of your arch of worship. On it depends your Love and Power.
Through that archway shall many pass into My Holy Place. Once therein their questing souls will pass into My Holy of Holies. Is it too much to ask of you obedience that this may be accomplished?
Do not fret that your life is lived in lowly places. It is not to be lived to impress this earth-plane, but to be so faithful and obedient that those for whom you desire much, shall have THAT much impressed upon them on the spirit-plane.
That much, and more, than you can desire for them.
I am here. Fear not. Can you really trust Me? I am a God of Power, as well as a Man of Love, so human, yet so divine.
Just trust. I cannot, and I will not, fail you. All is well. Courage.
Many are praying for you both.
“Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we
will remember the name of the Lord our God.” – Psalm 20:7
I bind up the broken hearts with the cords wherewith men scourged Me in the Judgment Hall, with the whips of scorn wherewith men have mocked My Love and Divinity down the ages.
Symbol, this, of the way in which, out of seeming obstacles stepping-stones can be fashioned, and, out of trials undreamt-of, blessings can be wrought.
Share My Life with its longings and tears, with its Joys unspeakable and its heartaches beyond human description.
Share My Joy.
Listen, listen, I am your Lord. Before me there is none other. Just trust Me in everything. Help is here all the time.
The difficult way is nearly over, but you have learnt in it lessons you could learn in no other way. “The kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.” Wrest from Me, by firm and simple trust and persistent prayer, the treasures of My Kingdom.
Such wonderful things are coming to you, Joy – Peace – Assurance – Security – Health – Happiness – Laughter.
Claim big, really big, things now. Remember, nothing is too big. Satisfy the longings of My Heart to give. Blessing, abundant blessing on you both now and always. Peace.
“Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and
mighty things, which thou knowest not.” – Jeremiah 33:3
